Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup slivered almonds divided
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Pulse 1/2 cup slivered almonds in a food processor until finely ground. You should have a flour like texture. Do not pulse for too long because you will release the oils. You want it to be dry.
- In a large bowl, combine ground almonds, oats, whole wheat flour, salt and the remaining slivered almonds. Pour coconut oil evenly over the mixture and stir. Set aside.
- Combine maple syrup and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour sugar mixture over the oat mixture and stir until the wet ingredients evenly coat the dry. Break up any lumps. At this point, the mixture will be very sticky.
- Press granola mixture into prepared baking pan, flattening the top to make it even. Bake for 40 minutes, rotating the pan every 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and then break into smaller cluster pieces - the granola may still be hot so be careful. Place the granola clusters back into the baking pan and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 300 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and let clusters cool completely. Once cool, store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store this recipe in a sealed container for up to a month.
- Do not substitute another type of oats, old fashioned oats are the best type for this recipe.
- You can substitute maple syrup instead of using any brown sugar in this recipe.
- You can add up to 1/4 cup of your favorite dried fruit. We love adding cranberries or raisins. However, the texture may not be as crunchy.
